Features and Pneumatic Operation

The shut-off/poppet construction provides internal sealing and sensitive directional switching without a lubrication requirement. The valve supports body mounting and the illustrated panel arrangements for the applicable control head.

The operating force is supplied by an external machine mechanism. The catalog describes this arrangement for position detection or stroke/limit switching.

Lubrication is not required. If lubricated air is introduced, continue using the same lubrication medium without interruption; the catalog recommends ISO VG32 oil or an equivalent grade.

Port letters identify P as the supply, A as the controlled outlet and R as exhaust. The graphical symbol in the PDF defines the exact flow paths for the selected actuator and valve position.

Selected Operating Travel

Parameter Details
Valve-spool stroke 2.4–3.8 mm
Button / roller / handle stroke 3.4–4.8 mm

The listed stroke ranges are installation limits for the selected control form. Travel is not an added body dimension. Use the drawing orientation and do not drive the mechanism past its stated range.

Installation, Travel Limits and Operation

Mount the valve through the body fixing points or use the illustrated panel arrangement where the selected head permits it. Keep the body and head aligned and retain access to the pneumatic ports. The catalog does not state a general screw-tightening torque.

Do not exceed the selected spool and actuator stroke ranges. Excess travel imposed by the external mechanism can cause leakage or damage. Engineering-plastic button components must be operated by hand and must not be struck with metal tools; the dedicated mechanical roller/plunger models are actuated by their intended external mechanism.

The spring-return symbol and the installation notes identify an automatically returning actuation arrangement. Allow the actuator to return freely after releasing the operating force.

Body and Mounting Dimensions

The S3B body drawing supplies the base dimensions for the selected port size. A selected control head is shown separately; its dimensions are not a complete assembled-valve envelope.

Selected Control Head and Replacement Reference

The values below describe the selected actuator or control-head assembly. They are separate from the body drawing and must not be added indiscriminately to the body dimensions.

Control-head drawing reference Value
Head height reference 32.8 mm
Intermediate vertical reference 27 mm
Lower vertical reference 18 mm
Head length A 26 mm
Head width B 16.5 mm
Mounting reference 18.5 mm
Local width reference 12 mm
Head mounting holes 2 × Ø3.3 mm through-holes; Ø6.0 mm countersinks

The S3 catalog explicitly lists control-head assembly S3V05-P14A for this head family. The M3/S3 prefix on a shared replacement head is retained exactly; it does not change this valve’s S3 ordering code. This valve includes its selected actuator; a second head is not required for normal operation.

Dimension Drawing Reminder

All linear drawing values above are in millimeters unless a thread or angle unit is stated. The original drawings retain the dimension-arrow relationships, actuator orientations and port views that cannot be fully represented by a two-column table.

For detailed product dimensions and mounting drawings, please download and refer to the PDF catalog.

Internal Components — Catalog Reference

The sectioned illustration is labeled S3PM. Its numbered components are listed below as a series construction reference.

Flow Characteristics

The catalog flow chart for S3B-M5 plots operating pressure in MPa on the vertical axis from 0 to 0.8, and flow in L/min on the horizontal axis from 0 to 300. The family of curves illustrates the pressure/flow relationship. Axis limits are graph bounds, not guaranteed rated flow values for this complete valve; use the supplied curve and the required pressure conditions.

Supply Scope and Related Heads

This ordering code identifies one valve with its selected control-head form. It does not encode a multiple-valve assembly, a spare head, a silencer, mounting-panel hardware or pneumatic tubing. Where the catalog lists a separately orderable head, its exact code is given above as a replacement reference; the source does not provide a screw/gasket quantity breakdown for a service kit.

Series Ordering Options

The S3 family offers B, C, D, Y, R, L and V heads; red-only PL; and PP, PF, PM and HS in red, green or black. Port options are M5, 06 (1/8 inch) and 08 (1/4 inch). The original linked ordering chart uses M5 for the metric complete-valve code, while some replacement-head and Chinese drawing labels use 05; those labels do not authorize changing this listing code.

For 1/8 and 1/4 inch connections, a blank thread suffix means PT, G means G thread and T means NPT. M5 connections have no such thread suffix. These are series alternatives; the selected configuration is the one decoded above.

Reference Weight

Catalog reference weight: 89 g, from the S3V row of the 2022 comprehensive catalog weight table (paper page 300). The catalog weight table identifies the control-head family without a port, color or thread suffix. This is that published family reference, not an independently measured weight for every option. The table states that weights are for reference only; actual weight is determined by the delivered product. This is not a measured or packaged shipping weight.

Catalog Basis

Technical information is taken from the linked S3 catalog and cross-checked against the 2022 comprehensive catalog, paper pages 140–142 (PDF pages 141–143). The paper-page-300 weight table is cited separately above. No unrelated series dimensions or weights are substituted.

Optional Piping Accessories

P = this S3 valve’s female supply connection (M5); W = its female controlled working connection A (M5). The body drawing’s 2-P callout gives the two connection sizes; K identifies mounting threads, not pneumatic ports. Keep supply and working circuits separate. M5 means M5 × 0.8. Multiple keys retain each use. Tube OD is mm (in = inches); compression/tubing show OD × ID. These piping accessories are optional and ordered separately.

Code-prefix uses (match the longest listed family prefix): BKC/GBKC compression fitting; BPC/GBPC metal straight; BPOC metal straight; GPC/PC straight; GPEB/PEB branch tee; GPED/PED run tee; GPH/PH banjo elbow; GPHF/PHF female branch banjo; GPL/PL elbow; GPLL/PLL extended elbow; GPSA/PSA inline flow control; GPSS/PSS flow control; GPYB/PYB Y; POC round straight; PSL elbow flow control; PTL push-lock flow control; UE PU tube; US PU tube.

Match PT/G/NPT exactly. M5, including G-prefixed M5, is M5 × 0.8, not #10-32UNF. Use the specified thread seal or face gasket. Match tube OD and compression OD/ID; metric and inch sizes are not interchangeable. Use suitable soft nylon/PU tube and check seating, clearance, bends and flow. Tighten compression bodies by the hex, not tube nuts. Where listed: D is black, blank grey, -M miniature; -S denotes only the specified 304 stainless parts.

PSA/GPSA are tube-side flow controls and need separate matching tube connections; they do not screw directly into P or W. PHF/GPHF use male RA at the valve; female RB requires its own matching male thread and seal and is not a tube socket. Branches join one circuit. Keep supply P and working A separate; do not bridge these paths.

Standard push-in fittings and flow-control parts: ≤1 MPa, −20–70°C. Metal BPC/BPOC/GBPC: ≤0.9 MPa; compression fittings: ≤1 MPa. The listed metal push-in and compression groups have a 0–150°C range, limiting the connected valve path to 0–70°C or narrower. Apply every stricter component limit; no system vacuum rating is established.

This mechanically or manually operated S3 valve operates at 0–1 MPa and −20–70°C with 40 µm filtered air. Accessory limits may narrow that range; proof pressure is not working pressure. The piping choices are optional and ordered separately, and do not establish separately orderable panel-mounting or internal-part kits.

Flow-control suffix A restricts thread→tube, with free reverse flow; suffix B reverses it. Supply normally flows tube→thread. At valve working port A, suffix A restricts flow to the actuator and suffix B the return; cylinder-mounted orientation differs. Follow the flow symbols, including PSA/GPSA. Closed controls are not leak-tight isolation. Adjust gently without forcing stops; depressurize before tube removal. Never cap an active supply or working connection.

US98A/UE95A examples are separately ordered blue 100 m metric PU coils rated 1 MPa at 23°C. US98A: −20–70°C; UE95A: −40–70°C. Match OD/ID and derate as temperature rises within valve/component limits; 1 MPa is not assured throughout. Use inch tube where the selected connection requires it; metric tube is not a substitute.

PTL recommended cap-adjustment torque: miniature M5 PTL: 0.05 N·m. These are not thread-installation torques.

Items marked discontinued are historical service references, not current standard recommendations. Confirm availability or a manufacturer-approved replacement. An unmarked catalogue entry does not promise current production, stock or delivery. All listed options are ordered separately.

    Match PT/G/NPT exactly. M5, including G-prefixed M5, is M5 × 0.8, not #10-32UNF. Use the specified thread seal or face gasket. Match tube OD and compression OD/ID; metric and inch sizes are not interchangeable. Use suitable soft nylon/PU tube and check seating, clearance, bends and flow. Tighten compression bodies by the hex, not tube nuts. Where listed: D is black, blank grey, -M miniature; -S denotes only the specified 304 stainless parts.

    PSA/GPSA are tube-side flow controls and need separate matching tube connections; they do not screw directly into P or W. PHF/GPHF use male RA at the valve; female RB requires its own matching male thread and seal and is not a tube socket. Branches join one circuit. Keep supply P and working A separate; do not bridge these paths.

    Standard push-in fittings and flow-control parts: ≤1 MPa, −20–70°C. Metal BPC/BPOC/GBPC: ≤0.9 MPa; compression fittings: ≤1 MPa. The listed metal push-in and compression groups have a 0–150°C range, limiting the connected valve path to 0–70°C or narrower. Apply every stricter component limit; no system vacuum rating is established.

    This mechanically or manually operated S3 valve operates at 0–1 MPa and −20–70°C with 40 µm filtered air. Accessory limits may narrow that range; proof pressure is not working pressure. The piping choices are optional and ordered separately, and do not establish separately orderable panel-mounting or internal-part kits.

    Flow-control suffix A restricts thread→tube, with free reverse flow; suffix B reverses it. Supply normally flows tube→thread. At valve working port A, suffix A restricts flow to the actuator and suffix B the return; cylinder-mounted orientation differs. Follow the flow symbols, including PSA/GPSA. Closed controls are not leak-tight isolation. Adjust gently without forcing stops; depressurize before tube removal. Never cap an active supply or working connection.

    US98A/UE95A examples are separately ordered blue 100 m metric PU coils rated 1 MPa at 23°C. US98A: −20–70°C; UE95A: −40–70°C. Match OD/ID and derate as temperature rises within valve/component limits; 1 MPa is not assured throughout. Use inch tube where the selected connection requires it; metric tube is not a substitute.

    PTL recommended cap-adjustment torque: miniature M5 PTL: 0.05 N·m. These are not thread-installation torques.

    Items marked discontinued are historical service references, not current standard recommendations. Confirm availability or a manufacturer-approved replacement. An unmarked catalogue entry does not promise current production, stock or delivery. All listed options are ordered separately.
